It appears Google Has Killed Polymer Disable

It appears Google has finally done it and forced us to use their new horrible interface permanently. About a month ago they killed the other tweak adjusted the cookies value, now Google has killed using Polymer Disable in the URL. RIP old YouTube, you will be missed

Doesn't seem so for me, ?disable_polymer=1 still works for me, at least on some pages.

1. install user-agent switcher
2. make a new rule for youtube only and set it to googlebot
3. profit

Thanks! But it only worked specifically with the User-Agent Switcher addon by Alexander Schlarb (the one with 3 silhouettes in the icon) though, which has a Google Bot UA option. This didn't work with other UA switchers with UA set to "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)". I wonder why.

I tested the User Agent Switcher solution too. But i find a better and easy way to do: YouTube Classic by Mirza Brunjadze Yep it's for Firefox....

More infos usable in the description of my Userstyle: Youtube Dark Tweak WideScreen

PS: If you have a way (userscript/CSS/or Addon) to pin the player at it's place other to use "Video Pinner" OLD addon , i am interested....

@decembre I use "Youtube+" script. It has a floater player you can put anywhere, along with a bunch of other useful features.

Thanks : I know the floating player .... I want just the player stay pined at its place when i scroll.

Wouldn't that cover the search bar?

btw, is the list view not being remembered for subs feed for you? it's so annoying

Just stay where it is :-) My userstyle work fine with the "Video pined" addon and Waterfox. But i can't use it with Firefox Quantum... _ want an alternative. I try by using CSS... but for now it's not very easy._

You'll just have to listen for scrolling and get the video player position and size. Then add position fixed on it with top/left properties set to the actual distance from the edges of the page.

yes, that's simple .... But i am not coder! :-)

Here you go, but I don't like it

function repositionPlayer(){
    let tt = document.getElementById("player-api");
    let player = document.getElementById("movie_player");
    let playerOffset = document.getElementById("masthead-positioner-height-offset");
    if ( !(tt.getBoundingClientRect().y < playerOffset.getBoundingClientRect().height || player.classList.contains("ytp-fullscreen")) ){
        player.style.position="relative";
        player.style.top="auto";
        player.style.left="auto";
        player.style.width="100%";
        player.style.height="100%";
    } else {
        player.style.position="fixed";
        player.style.top=playerOffset.getBoundingClientRect().height;
        player.style.left=tt.getBoundingClientRect().x;
        player.style.width=tt.getBoundingClientRect().width+"px";
        player.style.height=tt.getBoundingClientRect().height+"px";
    }
}
window.addEventListener("scroll",repositionPlayer);
window.addEventListener("resize",repositionPlayer);

Thanks, that's i wanted ! Now i can work around.... Why you don't like it ? PS: Now i know the existence of (seems useful) : element.getBoundingClientRect [FR] Element.getBoundingClientRect() [Us] The Element.getBoundingClientRect() method returns the size of an element and its position relative to the viewport. The element's size is equal to its width/height + padding + border-width in the case that the standard box model is being used, or width/height only if box-sizing: border-box has been set on it.

I don't want it to cover my comments

Yes, I understand. But i use my userstyle to solve that: Youtube Dark Tweak WideScreen
